Car lost all power while driving. The car completely shut down. Welcome screen told me GOOD BYE. I had no lights, gear shift locked up, everything gone. I am just grateful I had not hit the highway yet. I have in the past 3 years put in over 10k in repair to this car and that is not including Maintenace. It is a money pit and a huge POS. I have done ALL recommended Maintenace per Nissan guideline, use all premium fluids and etc. Thats has done nothing for the reliability on this car. Now I am sitting here with no car because apparently this is a common issue with Nissan and the part is backordered with NO ETA (it's been a week now). NISSAN IS CRAP!! They are reliable at all!! It feels like the company only want to recall issues that "cost efficient" and not do anything about the issues that are a real problem.
